Fernando Alonso is looking for a crack to win the most difficult Grand Prix for Aston Martin: “We will discuss whether it is better to touch the setup and start from the pit lane”
What can Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin do to make the most of the 2023 United States GP? It is undoubtedly the most complicated for the green team, but they have to make the most of this weekend. In fact, Fernando himself highlighted this aspect a few weeks ago.
“It’s very complicated. Today we started on the 12th and ended on the 13th. Tomorrow starting on the 17th… Hard to get any points. This is frustrating”Alonso explained about the result of the sprint race on Saturday and thinking about the long race on Sunday.
“Sleep today or race tomorrow because you know the odds are slim, but hey, it’s what it takes. We will also discuss if it is better to learn and play with the set up and start from the pit lane.”, Nano pointed out, pointing to a possible crack for Aston Martin to learn from what happened at COTA.
“Anything that helps us, something useful, because doing 56 laps tomorrow just to do it seems like a long time, but there are better weekends and there are worse weekends. This is one of the bad ones and you have to grit your teeth and join the team”, Fernando finished on the DAZN microphone.

“We haven’t been competitive since FP1, in both time trials and no change in the race.”, Fernando Alonso acknowledged on the DAZN microphone.Very slow, very slow, no rhythm. Zero points today and tomorrow, leaving even more, possibly zero points as well”.
“A painful weekend to assimilate, but we must try to learn, do as many laps as possible and give the team all the information possible”, pointed out the Nano, which could hardly make a fight in the sprint race at the Circuit of the Americas.
“In Mexico, with more free practice, try to optimize the car better, which we believe is one of the shortcomings we had this weekend”, he explained about the team’s focus, with an eye on the next Grand Prix.By not having laps in free practice we believe that the car can give more of itself and we have not optimized it”.
